“In The Arms of Grace”, a poem from L.Willows (Grace, Hope in God, A New Day)

In The Arms of Grace

Somewhere,
in the day that tomorrow brings,
I see you smiling.
Your eyes are sparkling with the dances
that light in a new horizon.


You are gathering,
swelling, like waters that fill into rivers
that pour Love into view,
You are new.

Somewhere,
in the day that tomorrow brings
I see you healed,
your sweetened heart revealed.
In an eternal embrace,
you are in the arms of grace.

There you are,
in the dawn
that rises up to meet you,
wrapped by tender mercies
and a blanket of prayers.

There.
Entwined, encouraged, and seen.
You are with each good thing.
You are inside of hope’s dream.
There. I see you.

There you are.
dear beloved,
not a far smile away,
waking in the Promise of a bold new Day.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 —He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

Isaiah 43:18-19 —“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

“Grace in The Dawn”, a worship poem from L.Willows (A New Day, God’s Beauty, Abiding)

Grace in The Dawn

I hear You in the sweet airs lift,
in the hum of a distant rustles’ drift.
Winged creatures live in Your midst.
Symphonies singing God’s Heart love-kissed.

In a garden paradise untouched by me,
You speak a language of mystery.
Your songs unfold from within the green,
Formed in the beauty of mirrors unseen.

Grace in the dawn, in the light of a new day,
Found in the dew that reflects heaven’s ray.
Love greets, life welcomes, in all we find You.
And there, amidst all, hearts abide in God’s pew.

Ecclesiastes 1:11 – He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

“Heart Windows At Dawn”, a poem from L.Willows (Holy Breath, Spirit of God, Arise)

Heart Windows at Dawn

Dawn breaks through my window here in God’s morn,
tapestries quake shadows in the cool still yet torn.
My heart wakes in wonder to turquoise-lit skies.
Hope leaps, and I breathe released into The Joy’s sigh.

Gentle winds lift curtains into dances that climb
into stories that tell, like keepers of time.
Hushed in the mists that rise, that lift…
The Heavens incline our hearts in God’s drift.

Here the Dawn breaks. In living, life quakes.
Poured into Love’s midst, I rise at daybreak.
The warmth of the sun rising, in prayer, life gazing.
Light to day whispers – all of life praising.
